And so I face that final curtain

My friend I'll make it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

(I) traveled each and every highway

And more, more than this

I did it… my way

Regrets, I've had a few

But then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do

I saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did it… my way

Yes, there were times I guess you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

And with it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I grew it all, through it all

And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed, and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

But now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

No, no, not me

I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way
